Chapter 3034 The Hunting Plan
All the generals showed surprise on their faces, they didn't expect the prince to attack Tanzhou instead.

However, some of them heard about Tanzhou for the first time, and asked Yelukuo in confusion, "Your Majesty, where is Tanzhou? Why did we take this place first? Have we given up attacking Daming Mansion?"

Yelukuo explained, "It's not about giving up, it's about knocking a nail on the land of the Song people first. Tanzhou is located at the corner of Yanmen Pass. Occupying this place, we can firmly control Yanmen Pass. Even now If we can’t win the Daming Mansion, we don’t need to retreat beyond Yanmen Pass. We wait for the opportunity in Tanzhou, and if there is an opportunity, it won’t be too late for us to go south.”

"this?"

"We didn't plan like this before we came!"

"Think twice, Prince, if we don't strike while the iron is hot, and let Song Jun relax, we will never have another chance."

"..."

There are radical generals who are not optimistic about such a plan.

Some generals even said bluntly, "If we can't win the Daming Mansion and stay in the Song Dynasty for a long time, I'm afraid there will be some unruly people in the royal court who will harm the King Beiliu! They will say that we are afraid of war and will not advance, and we will definitely Pressing us step by step, exerting pressure layer upon layer, is very likely to cut off our food and grass."

Knowing their worries, Yelukuo comforted them, "The king has already dealt with these problems, so you can't worry about them. From now on, follow this plan. What you want to do is not to take down the Daming Mansion, Instead, they took down the prefectures and counties around Daming Mansion. They robbed us of the food and grass we needed, and then transported all of them back to Tanzhou. Even if the royal court did not give us food and grass, we could be self-sufficient here. If they dare to come out, this king will bloodbath the surroundings of the Daming Mansion to see if they have the courage to protect these people. As long as they dare to come out to fight, we will have an opportunity to take advantage of them. We will defeat them sooner or later."

"Understood!"

"The prince is wise!"

"With a stronghold, we can advance and attack, retreat and defend!"

"..."

All the generals suddenly became enlightened when they heard it, and praised Yelukuo one after another.

They immediately looked at the map, found an area for themselves, and finalized a name called "hunting plan".

These areas are their hunting grounds, and the people and supplies inside are their prey.

They competed with each other and clamored.

It is said that after the completion of the plan, we have to see who gets the most prey in the end.

Yelukuo acted as a referee for them with great interest, and also took out [-] Song people's gold coins as a reward.

Whoever takes the lead will receive an additional reward of [-] yuan.

All the generals were overwhelmed with excitement, and Yelukuo and Yelukuo saluted and retreated excitedly. They couldn't wait to go down and take their soldiers and horses to their own hunting grounds.

In Daming Mansion, Hu Yanzhuo set up a reception banquet for Han Tao, Peng Qi, Yang Zhi, Suo Chao and other generals.

The battle had stabilized for the time being, and the soldiers on the city wall finally had a peaceful night's sleep.

Everyone can also have a full meal with peace of mind, and drink a fine wine in the former magistrate's yamen.

Li Cheng and Wen Da raised their glasses to toast with them, and shouted excitedly with the generals, "Thank you brothers for risking your life to help, with you here, our Daming Mansion will not be lost."

"Let us brothers work together to guard the Daming Mansion!"

Everyone laughed happily and raised their glasses to have a drink with them.

The banquet was lively, and dancers and musicians were called to add to the fun.

At noon, Hu Yanzhuo broke up the banquet and let the generals who had already drunk to go back.

Yang Zhi had a sullen face at the banquet, and his expression was always not relaxed.

After the banquet was over, he immediately discussed the military situation with Hu Yanzhuo.

Suo Chao, Han Tao, and Peng Qi were all present, and they sat down in the living room where Hu Yanzhuo was working and took a sip of hangover tea.

Hu Yanzhuo also asked Li Cheng and Wen Da to accompany them, so that everyone could get acquainted with each other.

These people were all old people from the Daming Mansion back then, and they didn't feel unfamiliar when they sat together.

It's just that Yang Zhi, Suo Chao, Han Tao and Peng Qi belonged to Song Gongming now, and everyone felt a little uncomfortable.

Yang Zhi and Hu Yanzhuo said, "Old General, you know the current situation of the Daming Mansion best. The Liaoren just retreated temporarily, and they didn't hurt their bones. It's really weird that they stopped fighting. We still have to come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible. come up with a way to avoid falling into a passive situation.”

Suo Chao said, "Now we join forces, and our troops are strong and strong. We simply take the initiative to attack the Liao people and catch them by surprise."

Han Tao and Peng Qi coughed twice, not so confident in themselves.

Li Cheng and Wen Da also flinched and said, "Brother Suo Chao, you don't understand our current situation. The brothers have fought against the Liaoren several times, and it is difficult to recover their combat effectiveness in a short time. It is better to be prudent and take risks. I'm afraid I'm going to suffer a lot!"

"A loss, a loss, what's the point of fighting just because you're afraid of a loss?"

Suo Chao has never looked down on these two people, and he did not deal with them in Daming Mansion before.

Hu Yanzhuo put down his teacup and interrupted their conversation, "There is news that I haven't told you yet."

He pointed to the direction of Tanzhou on the map, and signaled to the generals, "Last night, a hundred thousand soldiers attacked Tanzhou, and this place is now under their complete control."

"what?"

Everyone was amazed, staring in the direction of Tanzhou and asked in confusion, "What are the Liao people occupying here?"

Hu Yanzhuo said, "Obviously, they have changed their strategy and plan to fight us here for a long time. Tanzhou and Yanmenguan are the horns of each other, and they can support each other when they are in trouble. Moreover, the water and grass here are lush, and there are secluded As a water source, Yunshui Lake is extremely suitable for raising troops for defense. Controlling Tanzhou will control the Yanmen Pass behind it. If we want to regain Yanmen Pass, we must first win Tanzhou. In a short time, It is very difficult for us to launch an attack on these two places at the same time, and I am afraid that we will have to prepare for a stalemate with the hunters here."

Yang Zhi saw the seriousness of the problem and said, "If that's the case, the Liaoren are allowed to wreak havoc in the Daming Mansion. Wouldn't the people around the Daming Mansion have to be under the Liaoren's swords all the time?"

Hu Yanzhuo sighed, "This is also what I am worried about. We can defend the Daming Mansion now, but we cannot defend the entire city and counties around the Daming Mansion. If the soldiers want to stay in Tanzhou for a long time, they need supplies urgently. They It will definitely be looted everywhere, and I am afraid that it will cause a lot of damage to the surrounding people."

"We must not let them do this!"

Yang Zhi snorted.

Suo Chao also cursed, "If they dare to act like this, I will lead troops to deal with them in groups."

Han Tao and Peng Qi followed suit and said, "If the Liao people are looting everywhere, they will inevitably separate their troops. This also gives us a chance to annihilate them one by one."

Li Cheng and Wen Da were a little worried, "But if we leave the city easily, wouldn't that also give the Liaoren a chance to fight us?"

"That's right, the cavalry of the Lieutenant is powerful. If our infantry go out of the city, we will give them their heads!"

The two advocated defense and disapproved of taking the initiative to send troops.

In their eyes, even if the hunters split up and act, it is not something infantry like them can handle.
